Brazilian federal police suspend two betting platforms in trafficking investigation
Brazil’s Federal Police launched Operation Dark Bet on 16 December to investigate alleged trafficking and labour exploitation linked to a sports-betting company operating two platforms in Brazil. A federal court ordered the platforms taken offline and suspended the businesses involved; authorities are executing 11 search warrants, four temporary arrests and asset-blocking measures exceeding R$446 million.
The court-ordered suspensions and asset measures directly affect the platforms and entities under investigation.
